Self-identifying as a dessert person, I don’t believe desserts are evil. As Claire Saffitz puts it, no meal is complete without something sweet at the end. There’s always room for dessert. When I find practical recipes that have no processed sugars, are gluten-free, and dairy-free […]
When you see the words Greek, shrimp, feta, and tomato sauce together in the same sentence, you know it’s going to be good. This Greek Style Shrimp is the quintessential summer dish: it’s quick, it’s fresh tomatoes, it’s a lot of garlic, and minimal effort. […]
June is prime time for strawberries, and sure, I can’t resist getting them in the middle of January or when they first start populating grocery stores when spring comes around, but out of season they’re for the most part just tolerable. When finally in season, […]
With Father’s Day right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about your dad! I sometimes find men are a little bit hard to shop for, especially if you want to be creative and fun. With that in mind, I’ve rounded up some interesting […]
For a self-proclaimed breakfast lover/ expert, I have quite a few issues with some breakfast foods, including an aversion to “mushy” ones. Let’s just put it this way: I don’t like to eat my breakfast with a spoon. You’ll rarely catch me having a smoothie […]
Am I too late to the salmon rice bowl trend? I can’t keep up! I oftentimes wonder if it’s worth sharing bowl recipes. They’re usually so straightforward and adaptable. They’re essentially about adding whatever you feel like adding, but this one has a special little […]
I’m always thrilled to find healthy-ish desserts, like these Oatmeal Almond Cookie Sandwiches. Although technically, I never need an excuse to indulge in desserts. I’m usually very pleased to satisfy my sweet tooth, whatever it takes. I’ve recently come to the conclusion that what is […]
Pasta alla Norma, a traditional Sicilian dish, is made of pasta and sautéed eggplant tossed with tomato sauce and topped with ricotta salata. It’s a wonderful vegetarian dinner. It can be thrown together in under an hour and it’s very satisfying. This take on the classic […]
The trees are blooming, vibrant strawberries populate the market, the sun is peeking through gray clouds. Spring’s here! I’ve been going on long morning walks on the beach before I sit down and get to work. This small habit has been monumental for my mental health. […]

I first made this dish a few months ago after a video popped up on my tiktok for you page. It was a time when I was being recommended a lot of cabbage videos, and despite not knowing how the algorithm got me there, I […]
Somehow, very very unintentionally, I ended up taking over a week off! But I’m back with a bang: Sesame Banana Bread. I’ve been heading for burnout and after ignoring it for weeks, my body just had enough. I was forced to take a break. It […]
I love an elaborate breakfast. I usually wake up craving a big serving of eggs, hash brows, and avocado on the side – actually, add some crisp slices of bacon to that. I’ve always been a huge breakfast eater (eat breakfast like a king kinda […]
